Tell me about the first time you ever tasted Korean food. Where were you, and what did you eat?
I dont’ remember when my first time was but I can tell you when and where from my earliest memory. It was a year after my first daughter was born and my parents took me to this tofu restaurant in Queens, NY on Queens Blvd and I had seafood soondubu jjigae. Absolutely delicious!!!!
How often do you cook Korean food following my recipes?
well I just found your website and recipes so I’m planning to do it more often than now. But I usually cook korean food when I don’t cook Indonesian or some kind of steak. I’ve been known to cook bulgogi a lot and spicy rice cake a lot :)
